The Community of Pantumaca is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Montserrat Puig with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.418 billion Pantumaches are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Casteller. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pantumacan economy, worth 175 trillion pebbles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Gambling, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 123,774 pebbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rumor has it that Montserrat Puig has won three lotteries in a row, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, Pantumacan politics is literally a blood sport, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime is totally unknown. Pantumaca's national animal is the melk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pantumaca is ranked 52,093^rd in the world and 131^st in Refugia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,331.97 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
